Abstract

In Persian, much research focuses on the syntax-morphology interface in DM, but research on the syntax-semantics interface is generally absent from DM literature. The aim of this study is to account for possessor raising and figure raising constructions in Persian which demands the review of the distinction between possessor and figure as thematic roles in double object and ditransitive constructions based on Wood and Marantz (2017). By the former, we mean the double object and to-dative expression of transfer of possession and by the latter, we mean ditransitive predicates that select for a locatume argument and a location argument. They involve one structure, varying in terms of what vP takes as a complement, which is a D*P in double object and a p*P in ditransitive constructions. The DP is interpreted as “ possessor” if it is externally merged in Spec of D*P and the DP is interpreted as “ figure” if it is externally merged in Spec of p*P. possessor raising generates two other kinds of thematic dependencies, including clausal possession and change-of-state vPs. figure raising requires the considerations of natural reflexive vPs in ditransitive constructions and their corresponding inchoatives. The interpretation of an external argument depends on a theta-role introduced somewhere lower in the structure. figure raising involves an external argument that bears a figure role introduced inside a lower pP; clausal possession involves an external or applied argument bearing a possessor role introduced inside a lower DP. This also requires the consideration of change-of-state semantics. The basic structure of a change-of-state vPs involves one v head which takes a DP complement. possessor raising construction combines properties of both clausal possession and change-of-state semantics.
